"On the border between Corrèze and Lot, this charming 19C manor house has been completely renovated to create a light-filled, stylish restaurant. The ceramic apples hanging from the ceiling evoke the orchard (as well as the vegetable garden) that the restaurant cultivates nearby. Youthful chef Oscar Garcia (stints at Franck Putelat in Carcassonne and La Table d'Uzès) skilfully crafts seasonal dishes with a touch of creativity, using produce sourced from within a 100km radius: trout with green beans, blueberries and peanuts; veal from Corrèze cooked two ways, smoked eel, raspberries and Dubarry cream. Five cosy guestrooms are available upstairs. Simpler options at lunchtime." - Michelin Inspector
"Its name is the French word for the act of picking fruit — a fitting image for a food-and-wine-focused hotel in the Dordogne valley. Its five rooms are all unique, each one named for a different flower; while the forms of the original architecture remain, they’ve been made over in a colorful modern style, and equipped to a boutique-luxe standard. The hotel’s owner, Oscar Garcia, is an award-winning chef, and his cooking, arguably, is the reason for Cueillette’s existence; ingredients are, for the most part, grown (and picked!) in the hotel’s own gardens and orchards." - Tablet Hotels
